Due to the storm there are no newspapers today in this area. I thought I'd see what some Pittsburgh writers had to say! You have to subscribe to the paper in Pittsburgh, but the Boston Herald was good enough to post this story on their site.

Hmmm... I don't know how something like that would go over here.  We've had a couple of guys take extensive grief for just suggesting (back in the day when it was true) that the Cowboys were better than the Eagles.  Having someone openly root for another team?  I'm guessing that might be a radio personality with a short job future.
 
Well, may the best team win.  I'm looking forward to seeing some of my favorite Falcons:  Keith Brooking, Bob Garza, Ed Jasper, and Pat Kerney mix it up with my Eagles today!

Name connection only, she sold her stock in the H.J. Heinz company a while ago.

That's not my understanding nor what was reported last year. When did this happen?

The Trib declared a series win for the Penguins a few years ago when they led Philly 2 - 0 in the Conference finals. They proceeded to lose the series 4 - 2. I don't put any stock in what any of them have to say anymore.

Great scouting article here below. The Boston Herald has a good writer as well (Kevin Mannix) but they never put up his entire scouting report on the website.

That's the story as I heard it all during the campaign, from Quinn and other sources. She has her own charities and what not under the Heinz umbrella, but since Heinz sold to Del Monte, she's been out as far as I know.

My stomach is in knots, cant Ben wear heating pads on his hands during the sideline breaks and ditch the gloves?



I found the best way to get hands acclimated to frigid cold was to soak them in 32 degree water for about five minutes. Warm them up slightly with the aid of stretching and blowing on them. Then dipping them again. After about five times, I warm them in heat and put on some heavy duty hand lotion to keep the skin from cracking badly. I only put the gloves only when I feel that burn I felt in the initial soaking, usually when the wind chill is BAD.

I know of construction workers that would nail their hands because the cold is so numbing in this weather.


Weather acclimation will be determining factor on both sides.

'Tis true.

The Globe had a great stat page collage at:
http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/playoffs/2005/01_23_05/

I'm image deficient, but it has some great stats for both teams.

Sports writers are mostly all jock-sniffin, penil-necked wannabes.

Oh, I agree. Sports "journalism" is downright uuuuuuugly.

What's the latest weather report for both games?

I'm still waiting for the first on-air person to say "as frigid as a NOW convention".

And the forecast only calls for a chance of snow, so there may not be moisture flying around during the game.

I havent been this jacked since the last Steelers Super Bowl game!
